ROCK ISLANDS GROWTH.
A City Built Upon a Rocky Found
alton.
We Talk of Our Town Because we
are Proud of it---signs of the
Times

At the head of the second page
of today's ARGUS. appears brief state
ment of Rock Islands advantages as a
commercial center II is believed that
in setting forth Rock Islands claims in
this form, net an exaggeration has been
made or the citys advantages natural or
acquired, msrepresented in any particu>
lar. This will be q part of the ARGUS
make up in the future. 1t will be found
in this location daily hence forth. The
object is self explanatory, and the hope
is that our citizens and merchants will
call attention to this simple statement.
Show it to strangers and visitors to the
city. Send it to your friends elsewhere
and have them pass it round. Mail it to
the houses you do business with, and il
you will wrap it up and direct it and
send it to the ARGUS office, it will be sent
for you free of postage. The way to
keep up this growth is to talk about it,
'brag about it and keep the world posted
as to what inducements We have to
offer The secret of all success lies in
judicious advertising.
Indications of Rock Islands boom are
daily becoming more apparent En~
couraged by the spirit of the times, mer-
CHANTS are beginning to make improve
ments. and property owners are adding
to, and identifying their premises MIR.

Driving Away Mosquitoes.

Various substances are used to drive
mosquitoes away. In some parts peo-
pie anoint their bodies with fish oil as
a protection against them. The Chi
nese are said to be very clever in the
use of such protective unguents. In
India, mosquitoes are smoked out Of
room by burning chips of wood and
incense. A few spligs of wormwood
placed about the pillow sometimes pro-
tect the sleeper from their attack. A
correspondent asserts that if piece of
raw meat is hung over the sleeper's
head the mosquitoes will fasten greedily
on to it, leaving the human being in
peace. In the morning scores of the
gorged creatures can be destroyed by
dipping the meat into bowl of boiling
water. Dark. damp or ill-yentilated
rooms are the favorite haunts of mos
quitoes, which seldom modest you when
you sleep in the veranda or on the
house roof; or if you have the punkha
going all night over you, with the doors
and windows wide open. you are pretty
safe.-LondQn GraDsic.

eventually died. The night before he

sTANFoRD.s PASSION.
The CalIfornia Millionaire's Genuine Love
for Fine Bred Horses.

The CalIfornia MiIIionairo's Genuine Love
for Fine Bred Horses.
Stanford's only passion is for fine
horses, and this taste he has gratified
on his estate at Palo Alto, in the heart
of the Santa Clara valley. There he
has large number of fine thorough
bred horses, and when he goes down to
his country home it is his pleasure to
sit in large chair in the center OF
ring and see his favorite young fye1
brought out for trial.
1t was while watching one OF these
fast trotters-an animal which had the
enormous stride of twenty-three feet
that the millionaire conceived the idea
that in some part Of his course the
horse must entirely clear the ground
and have all four feet in the air. So he
decided to have his horse photographed
while in motion. He secured the serv-
ices of skillful photographer
named Muybridge. and he arranged
an ingenious system of cameras
worked by electricity by which
an instantaneous view Of the animal
was given as he passed the home line.
About $4,000 was spent on these ex-
periments; but they overthrow all pre-
vious notions on the subject. and the
work which Stanford had written and
published, entitled 'sThe Horse in M o.
tion,'' is a valuable contribution to
science. Senator Stanford has also
done more than any one else to i'm.
prove the breed Of horses in California
and to demonstrate that the climate oi
that State is superior to Kentucky fol
the breeding of swift trotting and run
ming stock. -CosnopolitGfa
